I'll add just one thing to this; do the chips seriously have nothing better to do? Like, how did this "investigation" not get laughed out of the police station the minute it was proposed?
I successfully recovered one of my escaped hens from my neighbor's over-crowded-with-fifty-years-of-junk car port, using nothing more than my wits, the cover of darkness, and a Cuban mop. I'm probably more proud of this than is really justifiable.
But our ME consultant changed my mind. He said: “I’m a doctor. Just let me sever his spinal cord at C3. He’ll live out the rest of his life and never be able to hurt anyone again.” I said: “But Shia, that’s barbaric.” He said: “Yes. But it’s less than what you’re proposing.”
Fun fact: the huge innovation of Piggly Wiggly was not locking all their goods in the back, but putting it on shelves for customers to browse. Customers bought more as a result, & Piggly Wiggly invented the modern supermarket. The “lock it all up & force you to ask me for it” model already failed.

Penn State removed The Daily Collegian’s newsstands and papers from their on-campus locations on Wednesday night without notifying the Collegian.
Learned this morning that my partner, who votes in every single election, was removed from the voting rolls here in Ohio because of "inactivity." He got it fixed but what the fuck. If you're in Ohio and planning to vote this November, please PLEASE keep checking your registration as it gets nearer.
Just got a fun reminder that my German dictionary was published *just* before the fall of the Berlin wall - and I'm using it to help me translate a book written before the Berlin wall was built. Strange world.
